Notebooks - Add a Little Bling!!

Today I wanted to show how I added a little bling to these Notebooks, which I really loved from the stamp camp. I made these for family and friends at Christmas. They are such a quick and easy gift to make. Everyone loved them.

 

 

I added the crystals and pearls to the flower centre, wrapped some ribbon around and then I personalised each notebook by printing the receiver's name on the computer and punched it out with the small oval punch and attached it to the front cover.
